Ummm... There is/was a technique where you would use numbers to index into an error message table, and then you could update the table... You would have to edit the table and recompile. At one time I entertained the idea of putting these into the lpd.conf, but after I realized there were over 900 messages I gave up... So I guess the answer is currently 'no'... but you can always edit the code, create a method, add the necessary support to the internationalization, test it, and send me the patches (HINT HINT HINT) and I would use it..
